Hi everyone,

I'm still working on filing for fiance visa. answering question number 18 has been little challenge for me. as my marriage has been prearranged by my family. I met my fiance in India last month and we got engaged. now I have to answer question #18 and I'm little confused on how to answer that and I don't want my application to be denied b/c of not enough details. ever since we got engaged we have been talking on the phone and on line via emails and chats.

so my question is.. will my visa be denied if I say my marriage is prearranged? and it's only been a month since I have known him? I do have the proof of meeting him last month and I also have pictures from our engagement ceremony. would this be good enough proofs?

any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

No sista you will not rejected just caz ur marriage is prearranged. I went thru the same thing, so you will be ok. Your engagement ceremoney pictures are more than sufficient. Just make sure when you send the pics, you send the pics that have other family members in the pics besides you two. In that section, you will be writing that your engagement was arranged with the approval of your marriages and that you two got together following the advices of your families and liked each other in that meeting and decided to get engaged. This is what I wrote in that section:

"I and my fiance met in India in January 2008 following the advises of our families. In that meeting, we liked each other and decided to get engaged. "

There was no problem at all with just writing those two lines.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Good Luck

It normally does take around 6 months and that is also if you do everything correct. I got 90% help from here and some from my friend who had filled the same case. Don't be too scared. Delhi embassy usually approves cases. Whenever you in doubt just pop the question here and ppl are friendly here to reply back. Follow the guide exactly and you will have no problem..
